Is anyone flying out of or connecting in Newark?

I hate navigating foreign airports, so if anyone else is going, I wouldn't mind meeting up and taking the same flight.

can any americans that have been to macau and or the hotel the tourney is at comment on how "american friendly" the area is? I know hong kong has a lot of english speakers.

"Many locals speak English"
Also of note is that you don't tip in the casinos.

I'v just come back from Macau a week ago,
about the english friendly question - out side of the hotel the people know ZERO english, not even basic words. (like telepone)

i found that in hong kong (as well as other countries), if you compliment some very basic english with hand gestures (and a smile helps too), most people will be able to help you out. it also helps to be choosy about who you ask, like generally people ages 18-25 or whatever are gonna have the highest chance of having learned english in school/be in university. also dudes in business suits that arent really old are pretty reliable for speaking english.

of course most people will just end up spending 99% of the time in the casino anyway, where it wont matter, but thats just fwiw.
